This release attempts to work around a breaking change to the Skype Desktop API. It also provides updated links to Skype Voice Changer Pro which features easier to use effects, plus the ability to record calls and play back pre-recorded sounds.

Many people use Skype to keep in touch with friends who live in another city or country, as this application is not only easy to use, but is also provides high-quality functions. Those who want to play pranks on their buddies or are simply looking for a way to have fun can install Skype Voice Changer.

As suggested by its title, the main purpose of the software solution is to change the way one sounds when using Skype (needless to say, this app has to already be installed on the host PC).

Advantages of a portable app

Skype Voice Changer runs out of the box and does not need to be installed on one’s computer, as all its components are included in its package (except for .NET Framework, which is typically integrated within one’s operating system). This means that the Windows registry is not going to suffer any changes and you can run it on any computer you come across, by simply moving the program files to a USB thumb drive.

Required authorization, apply many effects and tweak other settings

In order to enjoy the features of Skype Voice Changer, it first needs to be authorized within Skype, and then users simply need to start a call and choose one or several effects to customize their voice. One can further adjust pitch, delay or speed, depending on the type of effect they settled for.

If users do not want to start experimenting with the included effects during a Skype call, they can simply select an audio track, play it, and simply create a combination of effects that pleases them.

There are numerous effects included, such as chorus, delay, superpitch, tremolo or childish compressor, and the only way to select only some of them is to hear them in action. If several effects are chosen, their order can be easily changed to ensure the modified voice sounds exactly as users want it to.

A last evaluation

To sum up, Skype Voice Changer does exactly what its name implies, and is bound to cause some laughs during Skype calls. It does not affect the manner in which your computer runs, seeing that it requires low resources at all times. The response time is good and we did not come across any errors or crashes.
